Best of Both Worlds

Norfolk is the closest major holiday destination to London and Norwich is less than 2 hours by train to the Olympic Park. If you want to be part of this once-in-a-life-time sporting extravaganza, combine it with a summer holiday at Beachside Holidays in Norfolk and you’ll have the best of both worlds. Enjoy a bustling and lively day amongst the crowds and witness the drama as you watch your favourite sports. Then hop back on the train to escape the congestion and the day after you could be soaking up the sun at Beachside Holidays in Norfolk.

 Visit Norfolk – Closer than you think to London.

Variety and Value

Be part of London Olympics 2012 – without the crowds. Choose Wakefield Court Beach in Norfolk as your base for the Games and spoil yourself.
 There are attractions aplenty too, whether you are looking for family fun, arts and culture or serene stately homes and gardens.
 If it’s the great outdoors you enjoy we have gorgeous beaches and delightful tranquil countryside to explore, with miles of trails to walk and cycle. Prefer to mess around in boats? Then take to the water on The Broads, Britain’s magical water land and enjoy miles of lock free boating.
 Of course, the peace and quiet come free!
Prices will be at a premium in London during the 2012 Games, but make Wakefield Court Beach your base and your budget will benefit.
Norfolk is the ideal place to spend the Summer of 2012. Take the train from Norwich to your selected Olympic events, then return to your holiday base in the evening and you could be enjoying a meal overlooking the sea, a quiet country walk, or take the family out to the theatre – all for a lot less than in London.
